Speaker alerts board to HAVA demand and CPRA election‑records request

A member of the public described a packet of documents that had been transmitted to the county clerk, including what the speaker called a HAVA (Help America Vote Act) demand related to a California Public Records Act request filed May 18, 2026. The commenter said the packet and related complaints were also being forwarded simultaneously to the U.S. Elections Assistance Commission and the U.S. Department of Justice Civil Rights Division's voter section and urged the clerk and board to review the materials. "The demand is filed pursuant to the Federal Help America Vote Act of 2002," the resident said.
